Sony Xperia X Performance now getting Oreo

Sony just can’t get enough of Android 8.0 Oreo. They launched the flagship XZ1 and XZ1 Compact with Oreo out of the box and updated the XZ premium soon. Yesterday we reported the yesteryear flagships XZs and XZ getting the taste of Oreo and today Xperia X Performance is the latest in the line-up to get updated to Android 8.0 Oreo.

Both single SIM and dual SIM variants - with model number F8131 and F8132, respectively - are getting the update. Android security patch for November is included as well. Like with all the updates it will roll out in a phased manner. So if you own the device, you should head to the About screen of your phone to check if the update is available.

The Sony Xperia X Performance was originally launched in February last year with Android 6.0 Marshmallow and was updated to 7.1 Nougat in November the same year.

We have to applaud Sony for their commitment to no only releasing updates faster but also to update their older devices. Now if only they can fix their over-aggressive image processing.
